Singapore Airshow 2024 is underway at the Changi Exhibition Centre, with a total of eight aerial displays including one flypast from six air forces and two commercial companies.
This edition’s aerial performances present the largest number of flying teams with Indian Air Force’s Sarang flying team making its debut at Singapore Airshow.
Plane enthusiasts saw the C919, a narrow-body airliner developed by Chinese aircraft manufacturer COMAC, which made its maiden appearance at the event, as well as Airbus’ A350, which offers the longest range of any aircraft and can fly up to 9,700 nautical miles non-stop.
It is already in service with 40 airlines worldwide, including 17 in the Asia-Pacific region.
Both planes were part of the opening aerial display.
